Dividend per share
Fiscal year ending March 2027 (dividend forecast); DOE of 5% or more from the fiscal year ending March 2028Each vertical step represents one dividend payment, and the total height of the accumulated steps represents the annual dividend for the period. For periods showing only the annual amount, the payment breakdown is not provided, so only the end point is plotted.
Throughout the current medium-term management plan (fiscal years ending March 2026 through March 2031), the Company will maintain a progressive dividend policy, under which dividends will be maintained or increased from the previous fiscal year's actual dividend, while implementing dividends at a DOE (dividend on equity) level of 5% or more from the fiscal year ending March 2028. The total payout ratio of 70% or more (cumulative for Phase I) will also be maintained.
